    Hello! I recently found out about Parallels and I greatly appreciate having this out for free trial. I will definitely buy this after the trial ends, but for now, I'm having some issues. I'm stuck on 'Installing Windows 7' window and it's been going on for about 2 and a half hours. Now the real installation ended about an hour and a half ago and it's running fine on Windows 7, but it's still inside the installation box.

    I've read the articles but have not yet to notice anything about this issue. Installing took a long time and I really don't want to restart. I would wait, but if this normally never happens and I would've had to restart, it's better to do so before I go to sleep. So please, tell me if this is normal, or if I should go ahead and restart this process. If I have to restart, will it wipe out all the stuff I downloaded? Thank you!

    You need to restart. Parallels Tools installation which supposed to happen at the background might hang.

    How long?

    So what is a reasonable amount of time to wait?

    if nothing happens for more than 30-40 mins, you probably need to restart
